Sunday Flashback: Polamalu’s Pick-6 Sends Steelers To Super Bowl XLIII

In the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens rivalry, few games stand out more than the 2008 AFC Championship Game at Heinz Field between the two heated AFC North rivals.

Pittsburgh rolled to a 35-24 win over the then-San Diego Chargers in the AFC Divisional Round the previous week, while the Ravens pulled out a hard-fought 13-10 win over the top-seeded Tennessee Titans in the Divisional Round, setting up an all-AFC North AFC Championship Game in frigid temperatures on the North Shore.

Historically, the two teams kept games close in matchup with the winning team often winning by 3 points or less.
